With Joel now likely to assume the role of chairman - United are currently without one for the first time in their 127-year history - and his brothers making up the rest of the non-executives, there will be increased pressure on Gill, Anson and Humby.If they decide to help implement the Glazer plan, they are aware that many United fans will regard their endorsement of the new regime as unacceptable. It was a blow to Gill, who was left with just Nick Humby as a fellow executive, and he kept Anson at the club in the hope that he could re-appoint him in the future.That the Glazers have brought back an executive they have already voted off on a previous occasion suggests that they are prepared to give Gill the executive team he wants to run the club. Gloucestershire's Steve Kirby has been banned for three days for attempted ball-tampering. The seamer was found to have deliberately rubbed the ball on concrete and tarmac during the County Championship match against Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens last month.

The ban will be suspended until 30 September and he has been ordered to pay £125 towards the cost of the hearing.. The Manchester United chief executive David Gill flew to Florida yesterday to decide whether he wants to implement Malcolm Glazer's aggressive new business plan on the day when the American billionaire began his reign by installing his sons Joel, Bryan and Avram on the club's board. "Things did not really go according to plan that day," Cooper said.

"We didn't have our lead horse, who got injured on the plane, and so didn't quite get the pace we wanted."There were a couple of heavy showers that afternoon, too, and the ground was a bit sticky.

He lost his place coming down the hill, but picked up nicely at the end, and he has come out of the race very happy with life."As it happens, Grey Swallow will also be declining the York race. The Arc winner will miss the Prince of Wales's Stakes, having been beaten over the same course and distance last August, and will instead seek his first overseas success in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Newbury next month - possibly via the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud.Bago ran no more than a solid race when beaten by Grey Swallow at the Curragh last month. Pakistan required only 50 minutes and 12.5 overs on the final day to formalise victory by 136 runs over the West Indies in the second and final Test in Kingston yesterday, levelling the short series 1-1. Challenged to score an imposing 280 to win on a worn pitch, the West Indies were all but beaten by a spell of high quality leg-spin bowling by Danish Kaneria in between breaks for rain on the previous afternoon. One way or another, he cannot rest on those laurels yet.HYPERION'S SELECTIONS FOR TODAY'S OTHER MEETINGS:MARKET RASEN: 2.10 Young Tot 2.40 Relix 3.10 Bushido 3.40 Beseiged 4.10 Raise A McGregor 4.40 Three ShipsHAMILTON: 6.20 Attorney 6.50 Think Lucky 7.20 Prince Dayjur 7.50 Nevada Desert 8.20 Alphecca 8.55 Bendarshaan 9.25 Ice Planet.
